.aic cloud document recovery fails without warning.
When Illustrator crashed while I was working on an .aic cloud document, I lost a day's worth of work even though the settings are set to auto save every 5 minutes. This has worked before with no problem but this time there was no autosave recovery when restarting and no temp files in %appdata% either.
Granted I was careless and forgot to manually save, however at no point was there any indication from the software that auto save was not functioning. Maybe displaying a warning of some kind when this feature is not working would help.As a sidenote, when…

Normal "Save" operation in recording Actions becomes a "Save as" operation
Windows 10 Pro 64-bit 2004, Illustrator version 25
When you create a new action and use "Save" it becomes a "Save As" where it displays a path.
My scenario: I often have to re-save a batch-exported pdf again with normal "Save" so that all text is converted to paths for a print house via custom shortcut F12.
Because during batching there is no option do convert the text.
So I need a second run with recorded actions:- select all
- convert all text to path (outlines)
- save
- close
The normal save operation is required so this can work with any file…

illustrator is unable to save this document ... due to some unexpected errors.
Prior that, I get a message saying "This file has been modified outside Illustrator. Do you want to continue?" Then I click yes.
Then... "Illustrator is unable to save this document ... due to some unexpected errors."
I've been getting this message every now and then whenever I try to save a document. Started when I updated my Adobe Illustrator to version 25.0.
Save a copy yields the same result.

Allow a “create new folder” option, as the desktop version has.
I don’t see any option to create a folder for files with this version. I can only create new files. I need to be able to create folders to keep all of my images organized. Right now, they’re all over the place. The desktop version has the option to create folders, and I don’t understand why this version doesn’t.

image eps
For some reason, as long as it is an eps file that needs to be placed or relinked to the image, it will be very slow

Save Indicator
Recently updated to Illustrator 24.3. Thanks for fixing the shift - anchor point issue. Unfortunately it appears Illustrator is no longer providing any visual feedback upon saving the document. (Apple+S) This is regarding open documents that have already previously been saved. I use to get a status bar along with % save was at as it progressed. Now there is nothing to indicate the document is saving.

Vector fill shifting when exporting
I created a fill using vector lines that looks like a quilted look. I arranged the fill in the object to be centered. However, when I either open the AI. file in acrobat or export as png or jpeg the fill vector lines have shifted and are no longer centered. I have tried grouping the layers and locking the layers. THe only thing that seams to work is rasterizing, which I would rather not do in case I need to edit later. Plus, even when I rasterize in high 300dpi the lines don't look clear.

AIC save as causing crash
When working with an AIC file it can not yet be embedded into InDesign. In order to do so, I need a local copy of the file.
When choosing "save as" and then a local folder, on pressing save Illustrator crashes. I have tried this several times on a few different computers now :(
Have had to resort to copying the contents and setting up a new document locally in which to paste - not efficient at all!

Export for screen file name not working
So, I am using Illustrator 25.0 on a Mac 10.15.7 and when I want to export artboards through export for screen menu, the output file only contains the artboard name. The file name is missing (as prefix).
The process is:
1. I create a document.
2. Draw a rectangle (or anything) in artboard named 'rectangle'.
3. Save it anywhere as 'test.ai'
4. Export the artboard using export for screen as a JPG, with default settings — Ai won't show any file name.
5. The exported file is named rectangle.jpg instead of test-rectangle.jpgIn older versions the exported artboard used to…

Accessing onedrive files
We store all our art files on onedrive. I am unable to import or access illustrator files from our onedrive. Would love to be able to open, edit and re-save to make in the moment adjustments. Or am I doing something wrong?

Lost Work. Work not in cloud
I worked on a file for an hour Saturday, 10/24 and it isn’t there today. I’m working in the Beta version of Illustrator for iPad. I’ve never had a document not automatically save to the cloud. I also checked my creative cloud and it wasn’t there either. The beta version of Ai for iPad is not a separate app from the public version. I can only have 1 version on my iPad at a time. I really wish the beta was a separate app so I could have both versions. Now I can’t work in it at all for fear…

Why won't the attached svg open?
All the icon svg paths in the polaris icon system won't open in illustrator. It seems to be valid svg and renders in the browser just fine. It also won't open in XD.
